Securing the airway is a pivotal skill for anesthesiologists and emergency care providers. Endotracheal intubation (ETI) is considered the gold standard for securing the airway. When ETI via laryngoscopy has failed, the use of a supraglottic airway device (SGAD) has been recommended. The intubating Laryngeal Tube Suction-Disposable and the LMA Protector are a new step in the evolution of supraglottic airways. Both SGADs are enable to ventilation and oxygenation, but the ventilation channel allow the insertion of an endotracheal tube and the use of fiberoptic bronchoscope. The aim of this study is to compare the time of fiberoptic intubation through the intubating Laryngeal Tube Suction Disposable and the LMA Protector in adult patients.
